Abstract
A shock and vibration isolating device is provided for mounting a component on a supporting structure while absorbing with substantially equalized reaction force relative movement between the component and the supporting structure occurring in all of the three mutually orthogonal planes in which the dynamic loading of the component can occur. The device includes an open frame planar spring element lying in a plane parallel to one of the mutually orthogonal planes, the spring element composed of a core member of a low creep, high modulus, metal and a shell member of a plastic exhibiting high internal dynamic loss substantially encompassing said core. A first cantilever section adjacent a first end is mounted to the supporting structure; a second cantilever section parallel to the first cantilever section adjacent a second end is mounted to the component; and a bridge section connects the first and second cantilever sections and is perpendicular thereto. The ratio of the lengths of the first cantilever section to the second cantilever section to the bridge section is substantially 1.84:1.09:1.00.
